8G I4 Valve cover removal.

just the gasket....make sure you torque it right or else it won't stop leaking

the torque of the valve cover bolts is specified in the service manual. it's 30 inch-pounds.

the power steering line? it's mounted to the valve cover.

I think he's talking about the timing belt/cam gear cover. I know on the V6, you can leave that bolt in. At least I'm pretty sure..

Only on the front valve cover. V6 rear has 2 timing cover bolts in the valve cover. Hopefully nobody with the I4 starts looking for their rear valve cover now :-p

hahaha. Oh, well you don't HAVE to take it off, but it's just easier to take the valve cover off if the timing cover is out of the way.

Very good tutorial. You have some good pics and were clear on what you were doing step by step. This is how how-to threads should be done
